Prayer: Show us your love, God, so that we might show that love to others. Everyone! Amen.
Reading: Romans 12: 9-21 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: In the Bible where I read this passage, the title says, “Marks of the True Christian.” Do you think you could boil all that is said there into one easy command? Well, Jesus did. “Love.” I think Jesus said there were only two things that we needed to do. Love God and love our neighbor (read everyone) as ourselves. So often, doctrine and history get in the way of what we should do as Christians. But it is really this simple. LOVE! --Chad Hershberger
